AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY & DIVERSITY

Bristol Community College is committed to a policy of affirmative action, equal opportunity, equal education, non-discrimination, and diversity. It is committed to providing a learning, working, and living environment for its students, employees, and other members of the college community which values the diverse backgrounds of all people. Bristol Community College is also committed to assuring that the “college experience” is one that challenges, empowers, supports, and prepares its students to live in, work in, and value our increasingly global and diverse world. It believes that the diversity of socio-economic, racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability backgrounds of members of the college community enriches the institutions and their various constituencies. Bristol Community College will not tolerate behavior based on bigotry, which has the effect of discriminating unlawfully against any member of its community.

Bristol Community College provides equal access to educational, co-curricular, and employment opportunities at the college for all applicants, students, and employees in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies. All benefits, privileges, and opportunities offered by the college are available to all students, employees, and other persons having dealings with the institution on a non-discriminatory basis. The college is committed to taking a pro-active affirmative action posture with respect to its recruitment, selection, and promotion of students and employees.
